Stock tires
Just wondering after lots of searching - are the tires on the S different than the base?
If so, what are they? 014's?

I'll be purchasing my 4th rear tyre next week at 14,000klm.
After 2,000klm on the Corsa III I put it in the cupboard for future track days, it now looks blue around the outer edge, not good.
Pilot Power lasted 6,000klm, then fitted Pilot Power 2CT. Will replace with same.

Heat build up.
Although normal under hard riding conditions, make sure you check your tire pressures.

It's oil coming out of the tire to the surface. I'm not a tire guy, but sounds like it's getting little warm. Street tires shouldn't get blue. Too many heat cycles like that and the tires will lose grip.
